Glad I tried it out!

by powellc71

After moving to St. Louis from Arizona I was in desperate need of a good mexican restaurant. Since my move here I have tried many mexican restaurants in the area and after being disappointed so many times I am relieved to say that I have finally found what I am looking for. I went there last Friday after looking it up on this site, and even though it was very busy I received very good and friendly service, got my food quickly and it was delicious. I have to say that I have lived in New Mexico and Arizona and this food rivals any of the best mexican restaurants I have found in those areas. Thank you Citysearch!

My all time favorite for Mexican food!!

by ml73557

Ruiz is my favorite Mexican restaurant without a doubt. I love their margaritas (gotta try the cadillacs! they'll get you feelin good!) and the empanadas and the fajitas are my favorites. The service is always wonderful and we are always treated like family when we go there--Rocio and Juan are our favorite servers. We vacation in Mexico often and I always joke with my husband that I cannot wait to get back to Florissant and get some good mexican food!

Go to Pueblo Nuevo instead

Hoestly, this restaurent embodies all that is wrong with many mexican restaurants in missouri. It is the typical slop on a plate that most people have come to think is actual mexican food in this area. However, in this case, not only was the food bad, but the service was also slow, the restaurant was dirty and the food had no flavor. Too often, people go to an "ethnic" restaurant and beleive they are actually getting food representative from that particular country, but in most cases, these restaurants have adapted what they call "mexican" or "chinese", etc. to be what it is we americans want and it isn't anywhere close to being authentic.

If you actually want to know what real, authentic Mexican food tastes like, head south down Lindbergh to Pueblo Nuevo. If you like Thai Food, another authentic and very good ethnic restaurant in Florissant is Simply Thai. For Indian food, India Palace is also very good and just a little further South on lindbergh, close to hwy 70.

I am flabbergasted to see a 4.5 star rating for this place. Why??

• Pros: none
• Cons: people that eat here and actually think it's good
